Dragon Killing Party Composition
How to Kill Dragons in Dragon Age Inquisition
So you’ve managed to level up and are now ready to take down a dragon. Since you’ve undoubtedly already played hours upon hours of Dragon Age: Inquisition, you’ll already know that you are only as good as the companions you bring with you.
BioWare did a good job of ensuring that teamwork plays a pivotal role in all major battles. Your Inquisitor may be strong but no matter what you do he/she will never be “take down a dragon on my own” strong. For this very reason you will need to select some party members.
In order to choose party members you must understand the enemy you’re fighting. High Dragons are huge, powerful, and can fly, so that is something that you need to keep in mind.
They also have specific weaknesses and resistances that you will have to adapt to, so having a well rounded dragon hunting party is imperative. With this in mind you are ready to form your team.
To make things much easier for yourself, you will want 3 ranged fighters. You can choose whoever you want, but having 2 mages has the most benefit although you can still manage with only 1 mage.
Having 3 ranged fighters is a must due to the fact that ranged dragon attacks are easier to dodge and dragons like to move around a lot. Having most of your damage come from ranged combatants ensures that you will always be able to land a hit no matter where the beast may land.
Bringing 2 mages is highly recommended thanks to 2 simple reasons. For starters you can have each specialize in two of the schools of magic (spirit, fire, ice, lightning), having access to all of the elements guarantees that you will be able to exploit the targeted high dragon’s weakness.
Secondly, you are able to constantly keep barriers on your party in order to protect them from all incoming damage.
Make sure at least one of your mages (or your only mage if you choose) has the revival ability. You are able to revive fallen party members but you have to stand over them leaving you open to attacks.
The revival ability allows for your mage to revive any fallen comrade from a safe distance, a blessing in this part of Dragon Age: Inquisition.
As for your fourth party member you will want a melee fighter, specifically a warrior. Some of the dragons can be aggro’d, so keeping them focused on a warrior in front of them while you rain down elemental damage from afar will make your job much easier. It also helps when it comes time to defend your party from area attacks.
